I wouldn't HATE a small move-up to grab Jenkens or Jalen Mayfield, both of whom are versatile enough to play G if both Fisher and Schwartz can play and both with enough upside and potential to handle LT.
It would be an understandable pick. It would be a defensible choice.
I think the only thing I wouldn't get, given all their needs, is the idea of taking a LB at 31 or even taking a LB in the top 2 rounds. DE, OT, C, WR, and CB all slot up as more critical needs.

I expect a fairly high profile FA signing and maybe some depth / scrub signings, as well as one high-isn pick (maybe 2nd round) and one later.
Overall, I expect we'll get ONE starter out of the whole process (the one high profile FA) and people are going to be upset that they've pencilled in Fisher and Schwartz to start the season.

Yeah, if they get a C (Cory Linsley, Nick Martin) and a swing tackle and then add T with upside early in the draft (even if it's Little or Hudson), that's a major allocation of resources whether people realize it or not.
I mean, that line could look like this by the playoffs:
Fisher-ROOKIE/Niang-Linsley-LDT/Rookie/Niang-Schwartz
Which would likely be the best OL Mahomes has had in the playoffs.
